Sumida Gawa is a type of Japanese pottery that originated in the early 1800s. The name comes from the Sumida River, which runs near the Asakusa pottery district in Tokyo. The pottery is known for its bright, humorous, and sometimes odd motifs. Sumida Gawa is heavy and often covered with three-dimensional figures, such as humans, buildings, and monkeys. The Sumida River is a river that flows through central Tokyo, Japan. It branches from the Arakawa River and flows into Tokyo Bay. During the Edo period (17th through mid-19th centuries), the Sumida River was a key transportation artery and a popular spot for recreation.
